Earlier this month, Russia’s Ministry of Defence claimed 498 of its troops had been killed in Ukraine and a further 1,597 wounded – the first time it admitted any casualties from its invasion of Ukraine.
A pro-Kremlin tabloid reported yesterday that it had official figures showing 9,861 Russian troops had been killed in Ukraine – before it quickly deleted the story, saying the figures were inaccurate.
Conservative US estimates last week suggested more than 7,000 Russian troops had been killed in less than three weeks of fighting.
